Doodlebug Design Inc Weblog: HEY PUMPKIN COUNTDOWN CALENDAR

Hello artful buddies! Traci right here and in the present day, I am sharing a enjoyable mission that I made for October. I put a vacation spin on a Christmas custom by making a Halloween introduction calendar with the brand new Hey Pumpkin Assortment and the Home Creation Calendar. My grandlittles and I like this fall vacation, so I assumed it could be enjoyable to depend down the times till they’ll put on their costumes and eat approach too many sweets!

This calendar is a good way to have a good time Halloween a bit of bit every day. With 24 drawers that measure 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″, they seem to be a excellent measurement for small surprises. The home
is approx. 15″ x 16″ and manufactured from heavy white chipboard so, it is a colourful vacation decor piece that can be utilized yr after yr.

To embellish it, I began by masking the edges in 12×12 sample papers. I used the Halloween Haul print on the roof and down the edges. Then, I lined the chimney within the fairly pink Boo-Tiful Bouquet.

Subsequent, was the triangular house on the prime. I stuffed it with stickers from the Hey Pumpkin Shadowbox Insert Package. I like these. This one has witches, pumpkins, candies, spiders, and all types of cuteness! Plus they’ve enamel form sprinkles that add shine and dimension.

Within the heart, I added the lovely Pumpkin Patch Doodle-pops. This little black cat and pumpkin are simply too cute. And for sparkle, I threw in some mini jewels from the Halloween Assortment. I like this enjoyable collage!

For the drawers, I lined each in a fab-boo-lous print from the 6×6 paper pad. I used a 1 1/2″ scallop circle punch, a 1 1/4″ circle punch, and black and white card inventory to create the round shapes. Subsequent, I added a lot of cute mini icon stickers and dates with numbers from the Alphabet Soup puffy stickers. 

Since
there are solely 24 drawers and there are 30 days main as much as
Halloween, I added 2 dates to every of the drawers within the final row. I
imply … there have to be a shock for every single day! 😉

As the ultimate contact, I
trimmed out the entrance and the chimney with some Chunky Doodle Twine in beetle black. 

For one more thought, try my Christmas model of this introduction calendar the place I used the great Gingerbread Kisses Assortment.

This was such a enjoyable mission. It is an important exercise to do with your loved ones and it seems superb sitting out for Halloween. The brand new Hey Pumpkin Assortment and the Home Creation Calendar are simply spook-tacular! 🧡
